welcome to the concrete solution to plastic waste
Concrete kerbs, channels and edgings with RESIN8™ were selected on the Phase 2A IRT Infrastructure Project to illustrate the massive contribution that local Government infrastructure projects can make towards diverting plastic waste from landfill, by completion this will amount to over 37 tons of mixed plastic waste diverted & over 283 tons of mined aggregate saved.
